My Nathan as you were told many times your name meant Gift from God. From the moment we laid eyes on you we loved you and cherished every minute with the beautiful boy you were. You made me laugh, you impressed me with your smarts,and I loved that impish smile. Most of all my Angel you were our Gift from God and we will always be proud of our Nathan Roy. Love forever mommy and dad.
